26
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: the show, right. Uh.

27
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 3: Yes, we did get to talk to Billy Corgan in studio,

28
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 3: which was awesome. Yeah. I'm sure you were making fun

29
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 3: of me under your breath because of how nervous I was,

30
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 3: but I think I you know, I didn't pass out,

31
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 3: so that's good.

32
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 2: You held your own during the interview, which was awesome.

33
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 3: You know, I think I think it was good. I

34
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 3: think it was you know, with me being a guitar geek,

35
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 3: being able to kind of talk about some of that

36
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 3: stuff like on his level. You know, a lot of people,

37
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 3: especially when it's music, they're just what is the inspiration

38
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 3: for this song?

39
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 2: You know, me about your favorite Smashing Pumpkins record.

40
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it's very you know a lot of

41
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 3: a lot of times those people they're not really musicians

42
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 3: or they're not deep into it, so it's just topical stuff.

43
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 3: So I think he kind of appreciated it. And then

44
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 3: of course when we got to the NWA stuff, he

45
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 3: was just you know, lit up. So but uh, but

46
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 3: I did fangirl a little bit. I did ask him

47
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 3: to sign my Smashing Pumpkins box set that I almost

48
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 3: over twenty years now. I've had it for a long time.

49
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 3: It's starting like the colors fading and stuff. So he

50
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 3: was pretty cool about it. But that was really good.

51
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 3: We're you know, we we have a good feeling. We're

52
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 3: probably gonna be more be more involved with them, especially

53
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 3: when they come to Nashville. Not if, but when they

54
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 3: come to Nashville and do a show.

128
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 2: like my radio commercial voice, or do we should do

129
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 2: like one of those ads that NWA does during the

130
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,119
Speaker 2: Middle of Power and create something to sell the T shirts,

131
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 2: which we actually talked to Billy Corgan about possibly doing

132
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 2: a one of those funny ads that they do during

133
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 2: the show, which that's a whole different ballgame for a

134
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 2: different episode in a different time. But yes, we have

135
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 2: T shirts. You should definitely go buy them Territory Wrestling

00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 2: Teas dot com. And yeah, T shirts are just the beginning.

137
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,239
Speaker 2: We will try to roll out some more stuff, possibly

138
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 2: maybe some hoodies because it is absolutely freaking cold here

139
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,640

158
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 3: was obviously at Municipal Auditorium, which is the smaller venue

159
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 3: compared to Bridgetone, But I mean it was. It was.

160
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 3: It was pretty loud, I mean it was. It seemed

161
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 3: like the crowd was really into it. Uh. I don't

162
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 3: know if it was a technical er or not, but

163
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 3: they actually had some of the audio going over the speakers,

164
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 3: so we actually were hearing like Jim Ross talk in

165
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 3: the crowd and stuff.

166
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 2: So which is a very awesome thing because if you've

167
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,239
Speaker 2: ever been to a WWE event, not knocking their events,

168
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 2: because their events are pretty cool too, but you don't

169
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 2: get to hear the backstage acson you unless it's like

170
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 2: a video promo, you don't get to hear kind of

171
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 2: like what's going on heading into the commercials. But w

172
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: or AEW was playing that kind of at a low

173
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 2: volume to where you could hear, but it wouldn't pick

174
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 2: up on the microphone, which I thought that was pretty

175
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 2: cool because I mentioned that to you as soon as

176
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 2: I heard. I was like, Hey, that's pretty cool. They're

177
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 2: giving us like what they're saying right now going at a

178
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 2: commercial break and you know, some of the commentating not

179
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 2: during the match, But I thought that was a really

180
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 2: cool aspect. The pyros are really good and it was

181
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 2: it was a really good crowd and you know, our

182
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 2: section was fairly full, and it was a fairly full thing.

183
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 2: Now granted it's still an up and coming thing, and

184
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 2: so there was a couple of like rows that were

185
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 2: empty here and there, but they placed a lot of

186
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 2: people in positions to where it did not look empty.

187
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 2: And to be completely honest, being their first hand, it

188
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 2: wasn't empty. To be complete, you know, full transparency, it

189
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 2: wasn't empty, but it wasn't sold out.

190
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, And that night in Nashville was also the was

191
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 3: it the CM Yeah, yeah, it was a CMA Award show. Yeah,

192
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 3: and that was right down the road, and so, you know,

193
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 3: it took me usually driving up there, I can usually

194
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 3: get there in about forty five minutes. It took me

195
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 3: ninety minutes to get there, and then it took me

196
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 3: another twenty five minutes to park and pay, and so

197
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 3: I walked in at about six minutes before it went

198
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 3: on TV. So it was just it was a crazy

199
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 3: night in Nashville. But yeah, you know, it was even

200
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 3: with all that stuff going on, it was still you know,

201
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 3: majority packed. It obviously wasn't a sellout, but definitely a

202
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 3: good crowd and I think the card was pretty solid.

203
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 3: They also beat NXT again and NXT had a mass drop.

204
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 3: I had people messaging me like, oh my god, this

205
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 3: was the best NXT I've seen in forever. And you know,

206
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 3: I was pretty convinced that they were gonna maybe slip

207
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 3: up ahead, especially with the you know and not being

208
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 3: a sellout in Nashville. But no, this might have been

209
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 3: I think the widest gap in viewership. I think Adew

210
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 3: really kind of stuck it to him. So I think

211
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 3: that was the eighth or ninth week in a row

212
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 3: that they've they've won the wars.

213
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 2: So yeah, and you know, one thing I did notice

214
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 2: and a lot of people kind of complained about on Twitter,

215
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 2: but it wasn't an ae W thing. Come to find out,

216
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 2: when we were walking in and going through the metal detectors,

217
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 2: I saw like the security taking signs and wrestling belts,

218
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 2: and like I saw that there was like a Loocha

219
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 2: underground belt sitting in a box and they were taking signs,

220
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 2: and then you know, I was kind of scrolling through

221
00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 2: Twitter because you didn't really see any signs getting shown

222
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 2: in the in the arena, and you probably didn't see

223
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 2: very many on TV. But apparently it was not an

224
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 2: ae W thing. It was a municipal and security thing.

225
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 2: According to Twitter. I don't know why I said Twitter

226
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 2: like that, but anyway, it's Twitter. But yeah, it's that

227
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 2: was kind of an interesting thing for me to see that,

228
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 2: you know, they weren't allowing signs. There's like maybe a

229
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 2: handful of like very very small science that got through.

230
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 2: But yeah, that was a that was an interesting thing

231
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 2: that I kind of took notice of. Aw But yeah,

232
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 2: all in all, it was a good thing. Young Bucks

233
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 2: opened the match as a dark match, which I got

234
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 2: to the tail end of that, and then throughout the

235
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 2: night it was it was a really good thing. I

236
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 2: think that the best thing of the night was the

237
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 2: MJF and Jericho promo of them becoming best friends.

238
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 3: Oh easily. Yeah. I mean for MJF to be in

239
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 3: his mid twenties and to go toe to toe with

240
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 3: Jericho on the mic and pretty much hang in there

241
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 3: the whole time, I mean, it's just it's gonna be

242
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 3: incredible to see where he's at in you know, five years.

243
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 3: I mean, he's already at such a high level right now. Again,

244
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 3: I kinda I don't know. I kind of scratched my

245
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 3: head as to why they didn't just let him cost

246
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 3: Cody the title instead of throwing in the towel. You know,

247
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 3: I think they're still going to work it out to

248
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 3: where like, well I didn't really quit, so I get

249
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 3: another shot or something like that. But I mean, if

250
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 3: they had had him cost him the match, it would

251
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 3: have been even more nuclear than it is now. So

252
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 3: you know, that's kind of a head scratcher. But you know,

253
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 3: I and it was hard to see, like I couldn't

254
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 3: really tell if that meant like one hundred percent he's

255
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 3: in there in a circle now or you know, it

256
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 3: couldn't it was you know, I couldn't really tell if

257
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 3: that was like a confirmation because if you go back

258
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 3: to that title match, Jake Hagar like you know, attacked

259
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 3: him JF and then that's how he got sent back

260
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 3: to the locker room, so it's like, well, he's kind

261
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 3: of got some heat with him now, but then, you know,

262
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 3: so I couldn't really tell if it was just like

263
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 3: they have a they have a mutual enemy, you know,

264
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 3: or it's like he's officially in the inner circle. So

265
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 3: I will have to see how that plays out. But

266
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 3: but yeah, I mean you had uh Moxley and Michael

267
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 3: Knakazawa opened the show, you know, not terrible. I think

268
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 3: later on I was hearing or I saw something on

269
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 3: Twitter that Nakazau did that to kind of defend Kenny Omega.

270
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,599
Speaker 3: You know, he was like, that's my best friend. I

271
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 3: want to challenge him. Whatever.

272
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 2: Dark Order did end very well for him.

273
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 3: No, not not very not very good. Dark Order versus

274
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 3: Jurassic Express was pretty solid. Marco obviously got tons of.

275
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 2: Pops being a homecoming show for him.

276
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's from I think Olive Branch, Mississippi. And then

277
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 3: he's obviously I've seen him Russell at the BA Basement

278
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 3: East dozens of times, so it was pretty cool. His

279
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 3: his family was actually kind of up to our left,

280
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 3: so if we had have just looked a little bit

281
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 3: to the left, we'd have seen them. But the case

282
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 3: you haven't seen it, big spoiler Lutrosaurus Majer's return. I

283
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 3: don't think he was expected to be back this early,

284
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 3: but he, you know, rehabbed it and whatever, and he's

285
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 3: back and.

286
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 2: You saw a little bit of a wobble and a step,

287
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 2: but not a he came back to early wobble, No.

288
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 3: Because I mean he had some big boots and then

289
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 3: he did that like backflip, you know, press onto one

290
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 3: of them, and so yeah, so I think he'll be

291
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 3: kind of nursing it for a couple more weeks. But

292
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 3: I mean he looked, you know, at least eighty or

293
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 3: ninety percent as he was. Yeah, most definitely Darby, Allen,

294
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 3: Peter Avalon and Sean Spears. Darby got the when this

295
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 3: is also kind of a head scratcher. After the match

296
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 3: was over, Moxley had put out a challenge like you know,

297
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 3: scorched Earth.

298
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 2: Like, you know, I want somebody he wanted in the.

299
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 3: Locker room come, you know whatever. So we were waiting

300
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 3: like okay, cool, who's coming out?

301
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 2: And then we both kind of thought, you know, it's

302
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 2: either gonna be Janella or Darby.

303
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you said Darby, and I was like,

304
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 3: well that that would be fuck the hell of a match,

305
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 3: you know, And then he just kind of put the

306
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 3: mic down on the left. He did walk through the crowd,

307
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 3: and then after the three way match, Darby's said, uh,

308
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 3: John Moxley accept and so I think that's next week, right,

309
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 3: I think they.

310
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 2: Just believe so and then this match, I guess, yeah,

311
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 2: this week, and then then uh after that happened. See

312
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 2: I'm kind of scrolling back through just to kind of

313
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 2: see everything that happen at aw So, yeah, Darby said

314
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 2: he wants Moxley, and then let's see Nyla Rose came

315
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 2: out and had a match and that was a squash match.

316
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 2: And then they did a thing with Ali, who a

317
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 2: lot of people know her from Impact Wrestling. They did

318
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 2: like a promo with her and Awesome Kong like attacked

319
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 2: her and ripped out her extensions, which I guess that's

320
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 2: setting up a storyline between her and Awesome Kong or

321
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 2: however she's gonna go in aw at the moment. But

322
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 2: the one thing that kind of shocked everybody of the

323
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 2: night was the you know, Jericho coming out doing his

324
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 2: speech and then Cody's music hits and it's MJF, which

325
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 2: I thought was probably the greatest He'll move ever, and

326
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 2: they were doing their back and forth, back and forth,

327
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 2: and you've probably seen the promos, and you know, Jericho

328
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 2: said he was like a mix between him and Hoovey

329
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 2: too Guerrero and or something along those lines. I'm kind

330
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 2: of ad libbing, and then you know MJF with the

331
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 2: classic line, who's Hoovey and Jericho had to tell him

332
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 2: to google it. And then of course hoovey became a

333
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 2: trending topic, which is good for hu hooviy. But the

334
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 2: thing that kind of shocked the world was was Cody

335
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 2: coming out after you know, having the big gash and

336
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 2: he hit a you know, a few good moves. There

337
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 2: was that one little mix up that he got with Jericho,

338
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 2: the first you know, body slam that he did. But

339
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 2: we got to see the new appearance of I'm assuming

340
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 2: that this is gonna be mjf's corner guy, maybe like

341
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 2: his Jack Hagar kind of thing, and he is Wardlow,

342
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 2: I think according to his Instagram, and he's a big dude,

343
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 2: and of course they it was a It was a

344
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 2: rough thing because you could kind of watch that Cody

345
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 2: was being very careful not to take bumps near that

346
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 2: head that injury. But I mean that dude looks like

347
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 2: a monster.

348
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 3: Yeah. I had forgotten about his little segments in the

349
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 3: last few weeks, so and then all of those he's

350
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 3: just you know, I don't want to say whatever, at

351
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 3: least shirtless, you know know, top off and buff and everything.

352
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 3: So then when he came out and sued, I was like,

353
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 3: who the fuck is it?

354
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 2: Like, I had no idea if people were asking who

355
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 2: that was.

356
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was just such a strange thing because it's

357
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:12,479
Speaker 3: it wasn't you know.

358
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 2: And the thing that made it pretty pretty rough was

359
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 2: when he got in the ring, Like if you look

360
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 2: at his hair, because I'm watching the clip right now,

361
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 2: there were people on the internet thinking it was Marty

362
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 2: Scroll and I'm like, that dude is way too tall

363
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 2: to be Marty Scroll.

364
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's way too big, and don't let me forget

365
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 3: about the about Marty just yes.

366
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 2: But yeah, so then we we kind of saw there

367
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 2: was a brawl in the background with Proud and Powerful

368
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 2: and the Young Bucks, and the arena lost it when

369
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 2: either one of the guys from Proud and Powerful through

370
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 2: one of the Young Bucks into the bathroom and there's

371
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 2: Orange Cassidy to just sitting there. Yeah, and they like

372
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 2: kind of they kind of panic and they shut the

373
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 2: door slowly, and I mean, that is the most overdude

374
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 2: right now and wrestling no matter what he does. And

375
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 2: it just went to show after the show when they

376
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 2: were filming Dark and they're throwing the T shirts and

377
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 2: they had Orange Cassidy trying to throw T shirts and

378
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 2: he's still standing character the entire time. But other than that,

379
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 2: I mean, we got to see I see you.

380
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we got Poc Hangman for the fourth or

381
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:20,959
Speaker 3: fifth time.

382
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

383
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 3: And don't get me wrong, I mean it's that's a

384
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 3: good feud. I mean they're both really good. I think

385
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 3: they have very good you know, their styles or contrasting.

386
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 3: So I think it's a really you know, a really

387
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 3: good matchup. But I don't know, I assumed after the

388
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 3: the pay per view, you know, that was gonna be

389
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 3: it for a while. So yeah, it's very interesting, you know,

390
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 3: they it seemed like they're really high on Hangman, and

391
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 3: I guess they probably still are in the long run.

392
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 3: But yeah, I was I don't know. I wasn't expecting

393
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 3: him to lose to talk again. But I also know

394
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:12,479
Speaker 3: how you know, Park is very adamant about his booking

395
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 3: and stuff like that. So so yeah, I guess we'll

396
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 3: see what happens next.

397
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 2: So all in all, I would say that if you

398
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 2: ever get the chance to go see an aw live show,

399
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 2: go ahead and do it. It's not it's not a lot

400
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 2: of sitting there waiting, sitting there, waiting there, doing stuff

401
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 2: in between everything to keep you entertained and not being like,

402
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 2: oh shit, here because another you know, ten minute commercial

403
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 2: break or you know this, that and the other and

404
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 2: SCU of course. I mean if spoiler alert if you

405
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 2: haven't already seen it, they did retain the tag team titles.

406
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 2: But you know, it was kind of weird because we

407
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 2: were both sitting there and I was like, you know,

408
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 2: I would be completely shocked if they let Sammy and

409
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 2: Jericho win the titles so soon. But I was also

410
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 2: sitting there thinking that Jericho was not going to get

411
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 2: the loss if they won. Uh if FCU retained and

412
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 2: I was they actually let Jericho take the pin.

413
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was. I didn't really know what to expect,

414
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 3: you know, like we had mentioned, but you know, I

415
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 3: thought it was a pretty solid match. Let's see, you

416
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 3: think CBS gave it a B.

417
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 2: So well, CBS is not the Battleground podcast. I give

418
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 2: it a A.

419
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do have it an A or A minus.

420
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 3: I mean it was pretty uh, pretty solid. I mean,

421
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 3: Jericho continues to pretty much steal the show every week,

422
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 3: you know, whether it's just a promo or and I

423
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 3: don't know if this is like an intentional thing. I

424
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 3: don't know how much of you know, but I have

425
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 3: noticed that Sammy has been chewing gum now and so

426
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 3: his tongue action hasn't been.

427
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 2: What it was be able to get a cow chewing

428
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 2: gum though.

429
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 3: That's yeah, that's true.

430
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 2: That is that was the one thing that I noticed

431
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 2: when I take you that one night. I was like, well,

432
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 2: there's no tongue, but he's chewing gum and he's driving

433
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 2: me batshit crazy, Like he's like, I'm like, wow, God,

434
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 2: please get rid of the gum. But yeah, so let's

435
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 2: let's kind of transition now we will talk about sampunk.

436
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 2: Don't worry, don't worry. We will talk about sampunk, but

437
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 2: we'll kind of save that towards the end. But you

438
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 2: mentioned something about Marty.

439
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it was pretty interesting. So they they were

440
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 3: doing a I guess kind of like a number one

441
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 3: contender match in Ring of Honor, and this was heading

442
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 3: into the next pay per view and the I don't

443
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 3: know if this was the actual final participants or if

444
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 3: it was just the ones in their segment, but it

445
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 3: was Marty versus Pco who is who we you know

446
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 3: who was actually just on the show not too long ago,

447
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 3: but he's in villain Enterprises with Marty, and Marty pretty

448
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 3: much was just like, you know, this is just business.

449
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 3: I don't want this to interfere with Villain and Enterprises.

450
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 3: YadA YadA, YadA. Uh and then PCO got the win.

451
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 3: So the rumor is is that Marty's contract is up

452
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 3: at the end of this month, and so I mean

453
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 3: that's kind of a big indication, like, you know, if

454
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 3: he's leaving, our Ring of Honor is not gonna give

455
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 3: him the world title. So the fact that he just

456
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 3: lost that number one contender match heading into the pay

457
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:46,239
Speaker 3: per view, I mean, it could be an you know,

458
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 3: it could just be a swerve. It could just be like, no, well,

459
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,959
Speaker 3: this was the plan we were doing. But obviously you

460
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 3: have your most popular wrestler on the roster. You know,

461
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 3: you're trying to keep him. So I think putting the

462
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 3: world title in him would be a pretty good a

463
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 3: way to keep somebody. So so I guess we've got

464
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 3: about two weeks left and we'll kind of see what happens.

465
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 3: You know, I know Ring of Honor is really gonna

466
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 3: try to pull out the stops. I know, I know

467
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 3: WWE wants him, especially for NXT. I think that's gonna

468
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 3: be his best fit over there, and then obviously all

469
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 3: of his friends are at AW so he's gonna be

470
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 3: kind of the bell of the ball for the next

471
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 3: few weeks, just kind of see where he goes and

472
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 3: you know, what the plan is and where he ends

473
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 3: up and everything.

474
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 2: So as they like to say, he'll be the hottest

475
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 2: free agent in the business.

476
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I'd be very surprised if he stayed

477
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 3: with Ring of Honor. I know there's things out there

478
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 3: about how he is, uh, you know, very loyal and

479
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 3: he really appreciates all that they've done, And I'm like, yeah,

480
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 3: but that goes so far, bro, you know what I mean. Like,

481
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 3: I mean, if you can get an opportunity that betters

482
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 3: yourself and gives you more money, gives you more freedom,

483
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 3: and gives you a bigger audience, no one's gonna fault

484
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 3: you for doing that. Like there's no reason to stay

485
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 3: on a sinking ship. I mean, that's that's just not

486
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 3: very wise. So you know, none of us are in

487
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 3: his boat, so we can't really say what you know,

488
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 3: we can't make that choice for him. But obviously the

489
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 3: logical landing space would be AW. But you know, we'll see.

490
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 2: And it's funny that you kind of talk about, you know,

491
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 2: him staying with Ring of Honor, being loyal and more

492
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 2: money here and there Tony Shavani And this is gonna

493
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 2: be a little sneak preview into Friday Show. Tony Shavani

494
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 2: actually kind of talked about the situation where he actually

495
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 2: was offered a job to WWE by Bruce Richard and

496
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 2: then he had a meeting with Tony Kahn and he

497
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 2: said that Tony basically said, look, if WBE offers you

498
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 2: more money, take it. And you'll actually hear more about

499
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 2: that and hear what Tony had to say about that's

500
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 2: situation on Friday Show, which I just thought it was

501
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 2: kind of a little cool time for a quick second.

502
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think you know, if if Marty does

503
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 2: happen to leave Ring of Honor, that could possibly be

504
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 2: the kiss of death.

505
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 3: You know, it's it's kind of you know, you kind

506
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:30,479
Speaker 3: of had your your, your, your testy interaction with Dalton Castle.

507
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 2: Don't get me started on that one.

508
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, And and it's funny because our friend Steven of

509
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 3: the podcast he was on, he was on one of

510
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 3: the episodes with us actually the day we went to

511
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 3: the Ring of Honor, think he popped on but uh,

512
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 3: his wife loves Dalton Castle. So when we told him,

513
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 3: told them about what happened with you, and then they're like, wow,

514
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 3: that's very surprising. Like I you know, we're kind of

515
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 3: chalking it up to him just being in his new

516
00:26:55,600 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 3: He'll character or whatever. But anyways, yeah, I mean, Ring

517
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 3: of Honor is in a very very very very bad

518
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 3: state right now. And that's not knocking anyone. You know,

519
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 3: we went to the pay per view, We had a

520
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 3: good time. I went to the TV tapings last year.

521
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 3: You know. The whole reason that I've kind of jumped

522
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 3: on board with Aw's because I was watching these guys

523
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,199
Speaker 3: in Ring of Honor, So like, you know, I have

524
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 3: no you know, we're not like wishing people to go

525
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:26,239
Speaker 3: out of business or anything like that. But this has

526
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 3: been a this has been a like a WCW circuit

527
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 3: two thousand slash ecws at the very end, like like

528
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 3: the wheels are falling off very quickly, you know. And

529
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 3: they did finally get a new TV home. You know,

530
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 3: they bought some of the old Fox South Networks because

531
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 3: once Disney bought them. Once Disney bought Fox, they had

532
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 3: to diverge some of their assets, I guess, to kind

533
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 3: of not create a monopoly. So some of those stations

534
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 3: went up for sale, so Ring of Honor I guess, well,

535
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 3: I guess it was Sinclair Broadcasting bought them. And Sinclair

536
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 3: is the one that owns a Ring of Honor. So

537
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 3: then now they have, you know, I guess, more prominent

538
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 3: stations that are airing their TV show and stuff like that.

539
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 3: But you know, it's just one of those when you

540
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 3: have a core roster like that, make an exodus like that,

541
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 3: and then not on top, you know, on top of

542
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 3: all of that, they create, you know, perception wise a

543
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 3: bigger company you know, to compete with, and then they

544
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:38,719
Speaker 3: get a very lucrative TV deal with TNT. You know,

545
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 3: it's it's it's it's gonna sting, and it's gonna take

546
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 3: a while to recover. And it just seems like they're

547
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 3: not doing any They're not being kind of proactive about

548
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 3: a lot of the stuff that's going on around them.

549
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 3: So we will see, we will see. I think by January,

550
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,959
Speaker 3: the wrestling landscape's gonna be pretty interesting because you know,

551
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 3: you kind of have NWA treading upstream. You kind of

552
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 3: Ring them on our treading downstream. And then of course

553
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 3: if Marty leaves and goes somewhere, that's that's going to

554
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 3: knock them down a peg. And the rumor was that

555
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 3: it wasn't even like Marty, it was like all like

556
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 3: the whole Villain enterprise. So there was talks about that

557
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 3: whole faction leavin. So I mean, if you had four

558
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 3: of your big people leave after you've already had the

559
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 3: stuff that happened with AW, I mean, like geez, so

560
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 3: we'll see, it's very interesting what's going on right now.

561
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 2: It's going to be tough to try to keep that

562
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 2: boat afloat. So then it's like what company comes in

563
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 2: and says, here, you know, will save you. It's not

564
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 2: going to be an impact because they just bought their

565
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 2: own TV deal.

566
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was.

567
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 2: Come in and get them, I mean, w get them.

568
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 3: It would be I think AW would be a long shot.

569
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 3: I think it would be very smart if they did,

570
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 3: just because then if they launched a debut network, which

571
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,239
Speaker 3: I'm sure is gonna happen at any point now, they

572
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 3: would have all of the Ring of Honor catalog to

573
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 3: go through, you know, So I think it would be

574
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 3: very smart. But I think the obvious choices is WWE

575
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 3: just buying them for the primarily their you know, their

576
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 3: video catalog, because they've got I mean everybody that I mean,

577
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 3: Saam Punk, aj Styles, Samo, Joe, Daniel Bryan, I mean,

578
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:33,479
Speaker 3: they have Kevin Owens, uh, Seth Rollins, I mean they

579
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 3: have they have all these old classic matches from their

580
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 3: current superstars. So so I think it would make the

581
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 3: most sense. But you know, I think Ring of Honor

582
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 3: is just gonna kind of be floating along until it's done, right,

583
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 3: I think, until the lights are shut off, you know

584
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 3: what I mean. But but yeah, it's you know, and

585
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 3: I don't think a year ago anyone would have seen

586
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 3: any of this happening. I don't think anybody would assume

587
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 3: Ring of Honor was in a that worse state than

588
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 3: say Impact. And I don't think anybody would have seen

589
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 3: a new wrestling promotion starting that just right out of

590
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 3: the gate jumps up to a pretty high level. I mean,

591
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 3: it's been an interesting twelve months of wrestling, and I

592
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 3: mean we haven't even got to the final month of

593
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 3: the year yet, so well, we'll see how the decade

594
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 3: closes out.

595
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's interesting that you know, clearly was there

596
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 2: a plan and this is kind of going back into

597
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 2: the Wednesday Night Wars? Was there a plan for NXT

598
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 2: to be a part of Survivor series? You know, because

599
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 2: I look at it and it's like, would they have

600
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 2: put them in there if it wasn't If AW wasn't

601
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 2: a thing, is a question that we should suppose, like

602
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 2: ask you the listeners, like if there was no AW,

603
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 2: would we have NXT involving in this whole invasion thing?

604
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 3: I mean my hunch is, you know, I think it

605
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 3: was just they obviously put uh, they moved NXT to

606
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 3: Wednesday Night to directly compete with a w You know,

607
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 3: there was some stuff going on Twitter the other day.

608
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 3: It might have even been Meltzer and I can't remember,

609
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 3: but you know, the whole thing was is AW. They

610
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 3: didn't pick Wednesday Night, T and T picked Wednesday Night,

611
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 3: you know, so like they they knew RAW was on Monday,

612
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 3: never gonna change that. SmackDown floats around it was on Tuesday,

613
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 3: it was moving to Friday. NXT, you know, at the time,

614
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 3: was just an on demand thing. It wasn't a cable thing,

615
00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 3: so there was it wasn't really a direct competition. Uh,

616
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 3: and then that's why they got put there. So then

617
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 3: you know, WWE is the one that made the move.

618
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 3: They're the ones that approached USA. Hey give us fifty

619
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 3: million bucks, we'll put this on Wednesday nights. Okay. You know.

620
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 3: So so I think the way that the dominoes have

621
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 3: been falling, I think it's just been reactions to everybody.

622
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 3: So like aw, you know, was trying to find a

623
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 3: night that wouldn't conflict with WWE T and T picked

624
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 3: Wednesday to not conflict with basketball, and then WWE moved

625
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 3: NXT to Wednesday to compete with them, and then you know,

626
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 3: I think it was just kind of the progression from there.

627
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 3: So I think it's a cool storyline. I think it

628
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 3: introduces some people to NXT, because there's still a large

629
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 3: fan base at WWE that does not get into NXT.

630
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 3: You know, I think there are people that are just

631
00:33:55,280 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 3: fine with the middle of the road, the uh whatever

632
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 3: you want to call it, the water down kind of

633
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 3: middle of the road rawll smack down wrestling. You know,

634
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 3: that's not really more Indie influenced. And I know that

635
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 3: sounds weird, but you know, nx T, if you if

636
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 3: you just changed the name to you know, m P

637
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,359
Speaker 3: W whatever, just something and just said this is an

638
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,479
Speaker 3: indie brand, like it would just it would just match

639
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 3: up with all the other indie stuff on the on

640
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,479
Speaker 3: the scene right now, you know. So and a lot

641
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 3: of the people making up with that right now are

642
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 3: huge indie people obviously, So so I think AW and

643
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 3: NXT matches up better. But I don't think it was

644
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 3: a I don't know how much of a grand plan

645
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 3: this all was. I think it just kind of was

646
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 3: circumstances and just oh, well they do this, we'll do this.

647
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 3: Oh well they do this, we'll do this, you know.

648
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 3: So I think the invasion thing, uh definitely, will you know,

649
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 3: put more eyes on nx T. And then I think

650
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,800
Speaker 3: we're going to see more of the big quote unquote

651
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 3: the big names go at NXT, especially fans gonna be

652
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 3: there and he's gonna face Matt Riddle that Survivor series.

653
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 3: So so yeah, so we'll we'll see. I'm kind of excited.

654
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 3: I'm excited more about the NXT stuff than anything, honestly.

655
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 2: So yeah, and you know, looking at kind of the

656
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 2: the lineup for Survivor series, which we could digest that

657
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 2: into another episode, but it's like, you know, brock lesnar

658
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 2: Ray Masterio the Fiend versus Daniel Bryant, and then you

659
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 2: get into the three Way Dance Becky Lance versus Bailey

660
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 2: versus Shanna Blate Basler. Then you got aj Styles versus

661
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:44,760
Speaker 2: Shinsky versus Roderick Storm or Strong. Then the Viking Raiders

662
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 2: versus The New Days versus Undisputed Era, and then of

663
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 2: course the Men's Survivor Series is Team Raw versus Team

664
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:54,879
Speaker 2: SmackDown versus Team NXT, which I don't think that they

665
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 2: have named the Team n x T yet, but they've

666
00:35:58,160 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 2: got Raw and SmackDown.

667
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I know, I know, I know there was

668
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 3: some well, I know there was some concern about the

669
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 3: women's nx T division, like a lot of injuries right now.

670
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 3: And I know Aliyah just got hurt. Uh there's a

671
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 3: picture of her with like she'd been crying and her

672
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 3: nose was all bloody, and and somebody else I think

673
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 3: was in a ladder match and she got pretty banged up.

674
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 3: And one of them I think I might have even

675
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 3: had like a like a broken eye socket or something.

676
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 3: So I mean it got really Yeah, So the women's

677
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 3: NXT division is really kind of banged up right now?

678
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 3: But but uh, but yeah, and then I think I

679
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:46,800
Speaker 3: don't remember if it was on any stay or not,

680
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 3: but Bailey came out and attacked Shannon Blazer and then left,

681
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,800
Speaker 3: and evidently she'd have been she'd have been in Paris,

682
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 3: and they flew her in just for that. I was like, man,

683
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 3: that's some freaking dedication, Like, hey, we're I know you're

684
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 3: in Paris. Can you fly to full and right hit

685
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 3: Shana twice and then call it a day? Like all right,

686
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 3: I guess so.

687
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 2: And speaking of Bailey, there's like an internet I guess

688
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,919
Speaker 2: theory or conspiracy theory that's going on right now about

689
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 2: Bailey UH involving her title and her UH and ring attire.

690
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 2: So the way it says on her and I saw

691
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 2: this earlier, this is the only reason I'm talking about it,

692
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:28,280
Speaker 2: but on her ring attire, it says, I guess Bailey.

693
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 2: But the way it's set up that if she was

694
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 2: to wear her belt, it would say ae W if

695
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 2: she wore it around her waist, which they say that's

696
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 2: why she's not wearing it around her waist, which is

697
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 2: a conspiracy theorist. Man. We can talk all day about these.

698
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:45,280
Speaker 3: Too, Yeah, that's that's freaking hilarious.

699
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 2: I was just like literally people were trying to figure

700
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 2: out how to talk about stuff about trying to compare

701
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 2: ae W and WWE. But anyways, and this can transition

702
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 2: into the I guess the the last topic of the show,

703
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 2: which we're saving for last, the big shocker of the

704
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,760
Speaker 2: world is see and Punk is back in the wrestling world.

705
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 2: Now yeah kind of.

706
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 3: Uh yep. So for those that are not aware, he

707
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,919
Speaker 3: is the well okay, And to be fair, I don't

708
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:32,720
Speaker 3: think it's well okay. I don't think he's the full time.

709
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 3: Like from what I was reading, they were wanting him

710
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 3: to be like the coach, like it was going to

711
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 3: be like him and Renee or him Renee and Booker

712
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 3: t like. They wanted him to be one of the

713
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 3: actual hosts and did his uh did his screen tests

714
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 3: slash audition and it went well, but for some reason

715
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 3: they didn't they didn't offer him that position and then

716
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 3: they did. However, many shows they've done two or three

717
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 3: weeks whatever, and it is just tanking in the ratings.

718
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 3: I mean, it is just bad. So they debuted him

719
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 3: last week, and I guess the only person on the

720
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 3: panel that knew was Renee. Everyone else was like in shocks.

721
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 3: If you go back and watch the clip, like that's

722
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,280
Speaker 3: real reactions, like they weren't told in advance or anything.

723
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 2: Page for not dropping the F bomb, yeah and the uh.

724
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 3: But when he was there, he's like, I'll see you

725
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:36,919
Speaker 3: next week. So it sounds like it's just a consultant,

726
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 3: I guess, or like it doesn't sound like it's going

727
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 3: to be an every week thing. Now that definitely could change,

728
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 3: obviously if the ratings go up. But and then the

729
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 3: other thing to make sure people know in case you don't,

730
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 3: is that he is a Fox employee. He's not a

731
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 3: ww employee. So I think that was part of the

732
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 3: reason he even entertained this, that he you know, the

733
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 3: WWD had to sign off on it or you know,

734
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 3: give their okay or something that you know, they didn't want,

735
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 3: uh whatever. I don't know why this would happen, but

736
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 3: they don't want like a you know, say a you know,

737
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,760
Speaker 3: somebody from Impact coming a host on their show or something,

738
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, So so they had to

739
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 3: give their okay. And but I think the only reason

740
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 3: that Punk even was entertaining it was because he's dealing

741
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 3: with Fox directly, he's not dealing with Nowe. So you know,

742
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 3: he he joked and said that, you know, his number

743
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 3: to come back and wrestle is twenty five million, which

744
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 3: I don't think anybody's ever been paid that to rest

745
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,720
Speaker 3: now but they did just pay Tyson Fury fifteen million

746
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 3: bucks for one fight, So so.

747
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 2: What's an extra ten million on their plate?

748
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 3: Yeah?

749
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 2: Nothing.

750
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 3: So I mean, if they could get a guaranteed amount

751
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 3: of you know, you've got to wrestle all the pay

752
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 3: per views, so that's twelve and then you've got to

753
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:01,720
Speaker 3: hit ten or fifteen raws, you know, maybe they could,

754
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 3: you know, if they got it to where he was

755
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 3: basically like a million bucks in appearance or something. I mean,

756
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 3: like they would make so much money just on the merchandise,

757
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 3: you know.

758
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 2: Right, and he has to have his main event at WrestleMania.

759
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, and so I think if nothing else, it

760
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 3: is definitely testing the waters kind of a deal. You know,

761
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 3: we've seen some pretty shocking returns over the years. You know,

762
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 3: I never I don't think I ever thought I'd see

763
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 3: Hogan come back, and you know, he obviously came back

764
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 3: and had his match with the Rock and everything and

765
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 3: so I think especially with aw winning Wednesday nights right now,

766
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 3: and you know, I don't think that's going to change

767
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 3: anytime soon. You know, it wouldn't obviously helped in it

768
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 3: Tea on Wednesday nights or anything, but it would help

769
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:08,919
Speaker 3: the brand overall. So uh yeah, Well, I've still yet

770
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 3: to see the show. Obviously, I might check it out

771
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 3: now if Punk's going to be on it, but yeah,

772
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 3: we'll see. We'll see how much this translates into, uh,

773
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 3: into ratings, I guess.

774
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I haven't, Like, yeah, I'm right there with you.

775
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 2: I've only kind of seen clips through social media, like

776
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 2: if you know, Instagram, if WWE posts something, or you know,

777
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 2: on Twitter that post something, but I don't really watch it.

778
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:39,359
Speaker 2: But I did notice that all of a sudden, all

779
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 2: of Punk's T shirts were off of Pro Wrestling Tea's website,

780
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 2: I believe, And then all of a sudden, Punk stuff

781
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 2: starts showing up on WWE, and then they listed him

782
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 2: back as a wrestler on the network, which a lot

783
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 2: of people were freaking out about. And then of course

784
00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 2: the rumors were flying around that him and Seth We're

785
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 2: going to face each other at WrestleMania next year, and

786
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 2: of course Seth tweets him that he wants to fight,

787
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 2: Bray tweets him that he wants to fight, and Ricochet

788
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:10,720
Speaker 2: tweets that he wants to fight. And I'm like, Ricochet,

789
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 2: you are the farthest person on this list to fight

790
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 2: Seampunk right now.

791
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, and also.

792
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:18,919
Speaker 2: I bet Harmberto will get a better shot at fighting

793
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:20,439
Speaker 2: Sampunk before Ricochet does.

794
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 3: Yeah. Virgil also said.

795
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 2: That, oh yeah, but but yeah, so it's it's it's interesting.

796
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:34,839
Speaker 2: It's something that maybe you know, they're trying to get

797
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 2: that that, you know, that CM punk thing back and

798
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 2: build momentum on it, because I mean, the one thing

799
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 2: you know, at every WW event, it's always a CM

800
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 2: punk chant. But now that he's back, all they have

801
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 2: to do is hit that music. And let's say that

802
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:54,319
Speaker 2: you're rating slip on a Friday night or a Monday night,

803
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 2: or you're like, okay, look we really need to boost

804
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 2: NXT right now, Hey Punk, can you come just show

805
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 2: up and just be there?

806
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:06,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I and I think they're I think they're

807
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,399
Speaker 3: keeping that in the back pocket, you know. I think

808
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:15,320
Speaker 3: they realize that's going to be a super pop But yeah,

809
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 3: I I don't know, man, I it's kind of one

810
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 3: of those like, you know, I'm in the minority, Like

811
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 3: I kind of I appreciated that he left and never

812
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 3: came back, you know, like he stuck to his guns.

813
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 3: And you know, obviously I think the way that he

814
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 3: you know, left and how that was, you know, how

815
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 3: he was treated, and you know, he got his fire

816
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,439
Speaker 3: and papers on the you know, on his wedding day

817
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:50,399
Speaker 3: and all that, and then just on top of that,

818
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 3: you know, he just got married, and you know, I

819
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:54,399
Speaker 3: think it's just you know, at some point you want

820
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 3: to move on, you know, like, yeah, it's just especially

821
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 3: when you get to the level that he got. It's

822
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,280
Speaker 3: not like he failed. I mean, he was arguably the biggest.

823
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:06,879
Speaker 3: I mean we people have talked about him every day

824
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 3: since he left Wwe like that doesn't happen. I mean,

825
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 3: when was the last time someone talked about Albert Alberto

826
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 3: del Rio? You know, Like, I don't know.

827
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 2: He did have a wrestler. He did have he does

828
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:19,760
Speaker 2: it might have already happened, or it might be happening.

829
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:24,400
Speaker 2: He did have an MMA fight against Tito Ortiz.

830
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 3: Right, I mean that that didn't even get any news

831
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 3: compared to Punk's MMA stuff, which was national news, you know.

832
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 3: So so it's not like he like failed. I mean,

833
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:37,840
Speaker 3: he was arguably the they're one of their top three guys,

834
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 3: you know, and he's been talked about every single day

835
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,280
Speaker 3: since then. So but you know, when you get older,

836
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 3: things change, you move on, you know. I think a

837
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 3: lot of it was just uh, a pride thing, you know.

838
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 3: I think he was so popular and sold so many

839
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 3: shirts and so many toys and blah blah blah, and

840
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 3: it's just like, you know, I just don't know what

841
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:00,120
Speaker 3: I have to do to be the top guy, you know.

842
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:03,360
Speaker 3: And it's just obviously I think if he comes back now,

843
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 3: they're going to have to throw out everything to make

844
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 3: him happy. But but yeah, I don't know, it's obviously

845
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 3: I would like to see him wrestle, you know. I

846
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 3: think there's a lot of interesting matchups still to explore.

847
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 3: But you know, I'm definitely okay if he doesn't wrestle

848
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 3: again too.

849
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 2: So yeah, so yeah, I guess that that kind of

850
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 2: go out on a good note. And we also want

851
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 2: to talk about an event that's going on on Friday,

852
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 2: which I'm going to try to get out there. I

853
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:38,600

868
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 2: some of them could end up in an NBA ww

869
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 2: aw and you could be there and say, Hey, I

870
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 2: saw that guy in Clarksville. Now he's on my TV.

871
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I hate I'm missing that one. I I really

872
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 3: I really enjoy the Tried and True shows. They you know,

873
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 3: I guess we'd we'd still call him Indy. You know,

874
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:46,280
Speaker 3: they are an independent wrestling league, but I mean they're

875
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:50,919
Speaker 3: you know, production level and value is just super high.

876
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 3: They're obviously having a little squabble with the city of

877
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:57,799
Speaker 3: Clarksville right now, but they just announced a huge what

878
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 3: was like one hundred million dollar you in Clarksville or something.

879
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 2: It literally looks like a baby Lucaswell Stadium from Indianapolis.

880
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, so obviously that would be a natural destination for

881
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 3: that brand. But but yeah, you can go, and I'll

882
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:18,640
